A current generator is provided, including a bandgap circuit, an operational amplifier, and an output resistor. The bandgap circuit is used to output a bandgap reference voltage insensitive to environment temperature and supply voltages. The operational amplifier has a positive input receiving the bandgap reference voltage, a negative input, and an output connected to the negative input to obtain an output voltage substantially equal to the bandgap reference voltage. The output resistor is connected to the output of the operational amplifier serially to generate an output current flowing through the output resistor. Thus, the output current generated by the current generator is insensitive to environment temperature and supply voltages, and therefore more accurate and stable.
